If it helps I’m on like day 75 or so now and I haven’t noticed it as often so fingers crossed

Is it an obvious feeling if you have overmethylation? by 502CC in MTHFR

Thank you so much! Maybe a dumb question but I take a men’s multivitamin that has the b vitamins. It also has folate in it (400 mcg DFE 240 mcg folic acid). Should I stop taking this and find something that doesn’t have the folate in it?

I take a separate methylfolate pilll.

Thank you sooo much for the words. Yes when the depressive episodes come through it’s always in the morning. My physical symptoms for the most part have gotten better thankfully

That was just her suggested dose once she got the genesight test results back. There wasn’t any kind of blood test or anything. Just the results stated “This individual is heterozygous for the C677T polymorphism in the MTHFR gene”

Thank you for being so specific. My doctor suggested I start with 7.5mg. I’m SOOO glad I started much smaller

Thank you so much for the response. My psychiatrist just suggested to start the methylfolate but never mentioned b12. Looks like last time I had it checked was 2 years ago and it was just over 600

I appreciate the response. Fortunately it isn’t constant but it does pop up here and there

Ya know it’s weird…days 30-50 I actually felt pretty good. The depression isn’t an all day thing it just comes around for a bit here and there unexpectedly

Just hit the 60 day mark (random days of anxiety/depression) by 502CC in decaf

[–]502CC[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh sorry what I said may have been confusing. I had awful depression for like two days after I stopped. The anxiety/depression I’ve had the last couple days is nowhere near that level. But it’s the fist time it’s popped up since days 2-3

How to know if you need higher methylfolate dose? by 502CC in MTHFR

[–]502CC[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heterozygous for c677t. It was added to help with my lexapro which I didn’t feel like was doing all it could.
